Re: Star Wars Mania: Docking Bay 94
Hey everyone. Have some more progress that I wanted to share. So after re-evaluating my docking bay layout, I decided I needed to change a few things. Fist off ( and the biggest issue ) is that since the falcon model is gonna have LOTS of texture on it, I needed more traversable distance inside the docking bay to get from… -
Re: Hell Knight (Complete)
Oh yeah, I understood. I just personally wasn't 100% happy with it myself. -
Re: Should I practice with triangles if I want to work in games industry?
This should help. Then participating here sometimes can get you going, getting acquainted with a few people and receiving possible feedback. I did the triangles(previous-gens) to quad(future-gens) thing, triangles matter for lower counts and restricted engines, though you still work with triangles when you are "Edge… -
Re: [Completed] Futuristic City Street - UE4 Environment
I've worked on a small update the last few days, playing around with more VFX/animation thingies. I've been mixing wind with a normal map to try to get some fabric movement. I also learned about nCloth within Maya, although the result I got was a bit different from the concept. I may go back and redo it but I think this… -
Re: Stuck because of Software
I probably would just learn how to do it in blender or a student edition of Max/Maya first before moving on to Topogun. Stuff like topogun/dDo/quixel/etc are really luxury items. And before someone shoots me, I mean luxury in the sense that you should probably know how to do something manually in 3ds… -
Re: Normal Map Produces Ugly Seams
Hello lloyd, you are right I am using 2013 but I get the same issues in both Tool Bag, UDK, and Blender. So it must be an issue with the normal map baking because you can see it directly on the normal map itself that the seams do not match up correctly. And yes I am also using the normal map in the bump slot. Racer445 I am… -
Re: Painting seams across multiple materials?
There are three main drawbacks to viewport canvas which I'm hopeful they'll fix in 2012. 1) It doesn't play nice with psd's. Layer folders, adjustment layers get converted over to standard layers. Which kind of sucks when you reopen the psd in photoshop. I normally viewport paint (on a copy of my model) with another… -
Re: Do you try to avoid the Chinese Room?
I think 3D is one of those things you understand and learn more by doing and seeing versus reading. Reading of course helps, but you do something enough times and you'll start to recognize patterns. It also is quite a bitch to describe something to someone like proper edge flow for animation by only using words. I'm not… -
Re: Yet more Sony layoffs!
not at all, i am pretty indifferent of whether i work for a corporation or a small indie studio, i have done both, but most people just assume that these companies are going through layoffs because someone greedy is not making enough money, its not the case. lets say my friend asks me to borrow 20 bucks because he needs… -
Re: Good pipeline? (from model to texture to ringing or VFX) (Cinematic characters)
Currently i am total noob on textures. I wanted to make sure that my pipeline is good and i can get result out of it. Plan was to create Sculpt (statue) and then build effect on to in in Houdini. I have used a bit Houdini before. What i have currently done is: sculpt in zbrush. When it is 100% done i will decimate it and…
